Last year during our horrific winter (Let's go ahead and NOT have a repeat of that OK Mother Nature?!), I did a challenge with a local running store that had you run outside every day for the month of January. Well our January not only was snow-filled but we also saw temps below zero...like in the middle of the day! Considering that the middle of the day I thought was the warmest part of the day to be outside, I started running during my lunch...Runch if you will! Yes a teacher's lunch is only 25 minutes long...yes I have to return and continue teaching for the rest of the day...no I don't have access to a shower (Just ShowerPill!)...yes all my coworkers thought I was nuts (they already did but this really solidified it) that I was headed out during below zero temps. I noticed something though...I would return (ever so frozen) and have TONS of energy for the rest of the day!! Thus began the RUNCH!
Fast-forward to this time of year. School has started back up and so has runch. My coworker/friend joins me most times but others I go it alone. The Fall always seems to just fly by for our family since we are super busy all of a sudden. I LOVE running in the Fall so having it fly by is always a sad thing. However this year I have noticed that my runch helps me to take it all in. A short 25 minute run is all I need a few days a week to love the leaves and beautifulness around me! We have been hitting the rail trail lately and I have to say I am loving it!
Runch has been an awesome addition to my work week but it helps that I am loving where I runch! Wouldn't you?
Where do you run? I always love to see the different scenes that people run in!!!
